1/ Sorry, but the structure of this passage, and the timing of it, are amoral.
Obama speaks about Gaza:
“What Hamas did was horrific, and there is no justification for it. And what is also true is that the occupation, and what’s happening to Palestinians, is unbearable”

2/ The equivalence between Oct. 7 and a geopolitical conflict (one that's unsolved and no small part because Palestinian rejection of peace) minimizes the horrors of the former.
And we have most months of most years to pontificate about the occupation. Not now.

3/ "On the one hand, children, grandparents, and civilians
have been kidnapped, slaughtered en masse, burned, and beheaded a few weeks ago. On the other hand, the land swaps in Olmert's 2008 peace offer left 0.7% difference between Israeli and West Bank lands exchanged."
Stop.

" ... and what is also true."
Just a big BUTT from Obama. He did nothing but allow this to fester and grow worse. Sad that our first black President have to be black in an international anti-American sense, and not in a MLK American sense. Disappointing.
